"Wharton is incredibly difficult to get into, one of the toughest in the country. I think it can be considered “ridiculously competitive”.

The dual degrees are even more “ridiculously competitive” than Wharton. Only selected few (50 for m&t) from Wharton admits can get into the programs.

Quote from Penn95 in another thread:

wharton is a little bit harder to get in than cas or engineering but i do not agree with the statement that it is significantly more difficult to get in. 2 or more decades ago sure but not nowadays. Also it is very unlikely that wharton admit rate is at harvard/yale level i.e 5-6%. It is much more probable that wharton admit rate is around 7-8%. I have done a very rough analysis based on bits of info here and there and it is more reasonable for wharton admit rate to be in that range. The dual degree programs, huntsman, m&t, lsm prob have admit rates at the level of stanford, harvard and also yields at these levels. Also wharton probably has yield rate higher than yale and princeton but lower than harvard and stanford ( i would bet around 75%). Also i think the there is not really a distinction between wharton and non wharton students in terms of wharton students being more accomplished or anything as a group. I think there is however a substantial difference between students ( as a total group) who are m&t, lsm, the other vagelos programs ( and to a lesser degree huntsman) and the rest of penn students as a group.
